Sadie Shults said it brings tears to her eyes to think that a family goes without food because it's too expensive. She said that is why she became the coordinator of the One Harvest distribution site at Real Hope Church.

She said One Harvest Food Ministries allows a family's budget to stretch further because they aren't spending as much money on groceries.

“I just like to see these people get food cheaper who would otherwise spend $100 at the grocery store,” Shults said.

One Harvest Food Ministries is a nondenominational, faith-based organization that sells prepackaged food at affordable prices across the Southeast, including four distribution sites in Tuscaloosa.

Overcoming Ministries Church, Real Hope Church, Ridgecrest Baptist Church and Fleetwood New Covenant Church of God will be taking orders for this month through Sunday.

The menu includes 12 different boxes to choose from. Deborah St. John, director of the Tuscaloosa County One Harvest ministry, said the No. 2 “More Than Enough” box will feed a family of four for two weeks for $46.

“It's economical,” St. John said. “It's quality food at a very economical price, and it's available for everybody. You don't have to meet any qualifications.”

There is no limit to how much can be ordered, and there are no income requirements. Those who receive Electronic Benefit Transfer food stamps can use them at certain locations. Real Hope Church and Overcoming Ministries Church accept EBT on site.

Orders can be placed online at http://oneharvest.com and are available for pickup at the churches during the second or third week of the month, St. John said. She said the distribution sites also deliver to elderly shut-ins.

Teresa Lollar, One Harvest coordinator for Fleetwood New Covenant Church of God, said the church began participating to help the many elderly people of the church who were on fixed incomes, but it was also a way to reach out to people of the community.

“We're feeding them physically through this program, but we want to feed them spiritually as well,” Lollar said. “I think that, as we begin to help others and they see Christ through us helping them, it will make them see the need to live a life for Christ.”
